I've never heard anyone say anything other than to change the oil immediately during your PDI. It only takes 5 minutes, and there's no reason to take a chance IMHO. I personally change engine oil, gear oil, fork oil, and brake fluid during PDI.

Just a helmet is not enough to stay in one piece, you have to make a decision whether you just want to use the minimal protection dictated by law to avoid being pulled over by the police, or to preserve your body integrity and use all the necessary gear to lower the risk of injuries. Remember, there are two types of motorcycle riders, 1. Those who have crashed, and 2. Those who are about to crash. Take a look at these links, good read, Australians are way ahead on riding safety matters: www.roadsafety.mccofnsw.org.au/a/11.htmlmotorbikewriter.com/open-face-full-face-helmet/ |

If you want to be able to ride without eating rocks and bugs wear a full face helmet. It also helps with wind resistance , that is its more aerodynamic. |

A few years ago I bought a battery tender. Its a shumacher 1.5 amp charger that says speed charge on it. I recently found that it is a terrible charger for these scoot batteries . I had my new battery sitting for over a week after charging it so I decided to throw it on the charger for a little while . after a couple hr's I noticed the battery built up enough pressure inside to bubble up the top of the seal " at each opening of the cells " the pressure subsided after having it off the charger for awhile . I bought it at Walmart for $19 , again it is a Schumacher battery tender . I figured it was OK but I guess not. Actually it says "maintainer " not tender. But it is not a good maintainer for these batteries. I figured it would stop charging once charged then pick back up as the battery looses its charge , but it seems to constantly hit it with the 1.5 amps even after charged. I gotta check what mine says on it Geh,,think its says tender,,it will only turn on if my battery drops voltage,,like if I go out there and turn the key on then hit the brakes,,it will come on and stay on until I shut the key off,,then it will turn off in a few seconds..BTW I did not bring my battery in the house this Winter and it was very cold,,as far as I know its still in great shape cause the light is green out there and it cranks hard.Think I paid around $40 for mine. |

If you want to be able to ride without eating rocks and bugs wear a full face helmet. It also helps with wind resistance , that is its more aerodynamic. That's exactly what my friend told me, he has a Yamaha bike and told me that I'll be experiencing that if I have an open face helmet. But decision is made, full face helmet it is |

It's nice but you can get a modular full face with bluetooth for that price. |

No I don't want speakers on my scoot...lol Please Please Please, let's try to keep these threads on track, and start new threads for different subjects. Reading many of the threads here, you start with some decent feedback in the responses, then it devolves into a conversation between two of the responders, and the conversation has nothing to do with the OP's request. Let's all try to keep things just a bit more organized, please. |
